Some Fayetteville Street food additions coming

To some it was a complete shock that Krispy Kreme's Fayetteville Street location never made it. (It's doughnuts! Who doesn't love doughnuts?) But to others, the fact that there was another, more historic "KK" just a few blocks up Person seemed like bad mojo from the get-go. So not long after opening, the Fayetteville St. Krispy Kreme "klosed" it's doors. (See what I did there?)

Soon to be filling the space at City Plaza (442 Fay. St.) will be Fire Wok, according to signage. The interesting thing is that the ownership of Fire Wok is the same folks that own La Volta Italiano across the plaza at 411 Fayetteville Street. This is good news; this means those folks feel confident in opening another restaurant. That's ALWAYS a good sign (even if we were once politely harassed -- yes, there is such a thing -- by a waiter from La Volta who was desperately trying to get us to go in on a Thursday evening).

In other F Street news, Hylton Hospitality is working on a $325,000 project at 301-110 Fayetteville Street, which will be the sight of Oro.

In non-Fayetteville Street news, the city is planning a nice (4,600 sf) "Carousel Building" for the historic carousel at Chavis Park, and Grubb Ventures has submitted plans for a 400,000-plus redevelopment of parcels at 401 Oberlin Road.
